Bridges Auditorium is a historic performance hall on the Pomona College campus in Claremont, completed in 1931 and distinguished by monumental architecture designed for large concerts, theatre productions, lectures and ceremonial events. The auditorium accommodates roughly 2,500 guests, while one of its most memorable features is the vast painted ceiling depicting celestial constellations, rising high above the seating area and giving the interior a distinctly grand character.
Seating is divided between the main floor and balcony, with a broad proscenium and large stage capable of supporting a wide variety of performance formats. The generous volume of the auditorium and its traditional theatre layout create an impressive setting for music, stage productions and spoken-word events. Visitors have access to a box office, accessible seating and essential venue facilities, while food, beverage and additional services may vary depending on the event.
The venue is located at 450 N College Way, Claremont, United States. For many events, the main parking option is the South Campus Parking Structure at 295 E First Street, followed by a short walk through the campus to the auditorium; an accessible drop-off area is available close to the building's south side.
